AUSTIN — Kylie Doniak, the senior Texas soccer player who survived a life-threatening hit-and-run accident, has been named the Big 12's female sportsperson of the year.

Baylor Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III was named Big 12 male sportsperson of the year.

Doniak, a three-time academic all-conference honoree who who led the Longhorns in scoring as a senior last fall, was struck by a suspected drunk driver as she tried to cross an Austin street in February.

After spending weeks in intensive care and more than a month in a rehabilitation facility, she returned to her home in Chino Hills, Calif., where she continues to recover.
